A 20-year old vulnerability in the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithm was finally patched this week. A 20-year old vulnerability in the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO) compression algorithm – ...

After twenty years, a vulnerability in Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer (LZO), an extremely efficient compression algorithm, has finally been patched. The flaw, a subtle integer overflow, existed for as long as ...

Lempel-Ziv, the codebook that writes itself What if the key to compressing any message was building the codebook as you go, making it unnecessary to send one at all? This is the elegant paradox at the ...

Learn the fundamentals of Lempel-Ziv complexity and how it measures the randomness and compressibility of sequences. This practical introduction includes examples, applications, and step-by-step ...

ADCs and DACs are generating a flood of sampled data that are creating high-speed bottlenecks on busses and in networks. Part 1 of this article described the use of compression algorithms that take ...

Efficient data compression and transmission are crucial in space missions due to restricted resources, such as bandwidth and storage capacity. This requires efficient data-compression methods that ...
